Dear PS 101 Families,

Beginning the week of February 10, Chancellor Kamar H. Samuels will host Our Schools. Our Future: Conversations with the Chancellor, a citywide series of 10 in-person community conversations across all five boroughs. Grounded in the Chancellor’s vision for NYCPS, this engagement series brings together students, families, educators, staff, and community partners for honest dialogue about where our schools are today and where we must go next. Conversations will focus on key priorities including school safety, academic rigor, true integration, and family and community empowerment.
